Problem statement
- Geometry
- Cantilever strip of length 12, width 1.1, thickness 0.32, pre-twisted 90° over its length.
- Material
- Linear-elastic isotropic material, E = 29×10⁶, ν = 0.22.
- Boundary conditions
- Clamped at one end; unit in-plane and out-of-plane tip forces.
- Measured quantity
- Tip deflection in the load direction for the in-plane and out-of-plane cases.
